Suspect in Shooting of ICE Agent Jaime Zapata is Detained in Mexico

Soldiers have detained a suspect in the killing of U.S. Immigration and Customs Agent Jaime Zapata.

The Mexican Army issued a brief statement that one of the suspects in the Feb. 15 killing is in custody. The suspect was not identified.

Previously, U.S. and Mexican authorities had begun to narrow a list of potential suspects including Jesús "El Mamito" Rejón, a former member of the Mexican army special forces who became a leader in the violent Zeta drug cartel.

On Friday, the Brownsville Herald published a communiqué, sent by rival cartels, blaming Rejón and the Zetas for the murder.
